[edit] Trivia

The robotic voice spelling the word "Freezepop" at the beginning of "I am Not Your Gameboy" is being produced by a Speak & Spell.
"I am Not Your Gameboy" frequently refers to a Nintendo Game Boy as well as video games such as Ms. Pac-Man, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Tetris, Super Mario Bros., Spy Hunter, Galaga, Burgertime, Frogger and Dig Dug.
At the end of the "Freezepop on Tour" featurette, the band members smash a guitar and break the keys off of a keyboard during end of the song "Get Ready 2 Rokk". Liz Enthusiasm bites off the head of a stuffed animal, a reference to Ozzy Osbourne biting off the head of a bat in 1982. The final riffs of "Get Ready 2 Rokk" are actually a take on the song "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath, a band of which Osbourne was the lead singer.
The song "Jem" is the subject of a recent YTMND fad, where the chorus plays over a picture of a famous person with sparkly-framed sunglasses and the word "OUTRAGEOUS" along the bottom of the image.
